Beaver Tales 2011 - 2012

BeaverTales is a collection of letters home from Rotary Youth Exchange students. The students are from District 7080 in South-Western Ontario.

You will see a pattern to the stories.  November can be tough with occasional homesickness and the struggle with a new language and culture. By February the language is coming but the English is slipping. When May rolls around the students suddenly realize the exchange is almost over, but there is still so much they want to do.  

Below you can read about the amazing experiences with each other, with their families, with their sponsoring Rotary clubs, and, through publication on the Internet, with any interested party.

Their stories will be posted here in November 2011, February 2012 and May 2012. If you have any questions please contact our BeaverTales editor.
